Took Ollie to the seaside and it was incredibly quiet. I put his long line on and showed him some sausages, and then let him off. He was excellent, didn't run too far, and when you called him, it only took a few seconds at the most for him to run back and get his sausage treat.
He ran into the waves (it's the first time he's seen them), and I think he got a bit of shock and jumped straight out. The waves were huge, so we tried to keep him away from the water edge. Some people came walking by, so I tested what he would do. He just walked quietly behind them seeing if they had any treats (cheeky monkey
) and I called him, and he came running over to me. Also said hello to a dog on the sea wall, was very good, only said hello for a little while then carried on the walk. I think he'll be fine off lead as long as he knows you have sausages.
I got some pictures of him off lead which I shall put up tomorrow.
